2014 Nissan Pathfinder VISIBILITY/WIPER

VISORS DO NOT STAY IN THE UP POSITION. BECOME LOOSE AND FALL WHILE DRIVING CAUSING VISUAL IMPAIRMENT TO THE DRIVER.

THE SUN VISOR IS TOO BIG AND HEAVY TO STAY FIRM ALL THE WAY UP, ONLY1 INCH AND HALF ITS SUPPORT ALL THE VISOR SO THATS ITS TOO SMALL FOR THAT HEAVIEST.

MODEL YRS 2013-2016 NISSANS. DRIVER SUNVISOR MANUFACTURED WITH BRITTLE PLASTIC FRAME BREAKS CAUSING THE SUNVISOR TO SUDDENLY, WITHOUT WARNING DROP DOWN AND OBSTRUCT THE DRIVERS VIEW OF THE ROADWAY AHEAD. COULD CAUSE ACCIDENTS LEADING TO POSSIBLE INJURY OR FATALITY. THOUSANDS HAVE HAD TO BE REPLACED AT OWNERS EXPENSE. VERY COMMON DEFECT ON THE ABOVE YEAR VEHICLES. OURS HAS HAD TO BE DUCT TAPED TO THE HEADLINER TO KEEP IT OUT OF OUR VISION.

THE SUN-VISOR DOES NOT STAY UP AS NISSAN PLANNED AND IS CURRENTLY A SAFETY ISSUE WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE AS IT IS IN DIRECT SIGHT-LINE OF THE ROAD. IN ADDITION, WHEN TRYING TO BLOCK ANY SUN, THE VISOR DOES NOT PROVIDE CORRECT PROTECTION AS IT DOES NOT STAY IN PLACE. IT'S EASY TO SEE BASED ON COMPLAINTS ON THIS WEBSITE ALONG WITH MANY ACROSS THE INTERNET THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE AND SHOULD BE REVIEWED BY NHTSA

THE DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT WINDSHIELD VISOR HAS HAD TO BE REPLACED TWICE BECAUSE IT WILL NOT STAY UP. IT FALLS DOWN AND OBSTRUCTS THE DRIVER'S VIEW OF THE ROAD AHEAD. THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT WINDSHIELD VISOR HAS HAD TO BE REPLACED ONE TIME BECAUSE OF THE SAME ISSUE. THIS ISSUE OCCURS BOTH WHILE STATIONARY AND IN MOTION.

I EXPERIENCED ISSUES WITH BOTH THE PASSENGER AND DRIVER SIDE SUN VISORS WHERE THEY WOULD NO LONGER STAY UP. FROM THE DRIVER SIDE THIS OBSTRUCTS THE VISION WHICH CAUSES A SAFETY ISSUE. ADDITIONALLY THIS OCCURRED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE WHERE IT WOULD SIGNIFICANT HURT A PASSENGER IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. I RESEARCHED THIS ONLINE AS WELL AS TALKED TO THE DEALER AND THIS IS A WIDE SPREAD AND KNOWN ISSUE. I HAVE ATTACHED A PICTURE OF THE PASSENGER SIDE BEFORE I GOT IT FIXED AT MY OWN COST. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL AS ITS A SAFETY ISSUE AND THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN DO TO KEEP THE VISOR OUT OF THE WAY ONCE THE VISOR BREAKS.

THE SUN VISORS BLOCK THE VIEW OF THE DRIVER AND CAN NOT BE ADJUSTED. THIS IS THE SECOND SET OF SUN VISORS FOR THIS CAR AT $400.00 A POP EVERY TWO YEARS. IT HAS BLINDED ME OF ON COMMING TRAFFIC OFTEN. THIS HAPPENS EVERYTIME I DRIVE THIS CAR. NISSAN IS VERY UN-CONCERNED OF MY SAFETY AS THEY ALMOST SAID.

DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE SUN VISORS DO NOT STAY UP AND DO NOT EXTEND FORWARD FULLY. AS A RESULT, THE VISOR HANGS IN THE DRIVER'S / PASSENGER'S LINE OF VISION, LIMITING ROADWAY VISIBILITY AND CREATING A POTENTIAL HEAD HAZARD IN AN ACCIDENT. PROBLEM IS PERSISTENT AND CAN ONLY BE FIXED BY REPLACING THE VISOR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE STATIONARY, THE SUN VISOR ON THE PASSENGER'S SIDE FRACTURED AND WAS HANGING DOWN. THE CONTACT EXPRESSED THAT IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH, THE SUN VISOR COULD STRIKE AND CAUSE AN INJURY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 39,000.

SUN VISORS ON BOTH DRIVERS AND PASSENGER SIDE BROKE AND ARE NOT ABLE TO BE PUT UP. VISORS HANG DOWN AND INHIBIT DRIVERS VISION.

THE DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR WILL NOT STAY UP AND SEVERELY HINDERS FORWARD VISIBILITY. THE HINGE MECHANISM IS BROKEN. THIS FAILURE HAPPENS 100% OF THE TIME AND IS NOT RELATED TO THE VEHICLE BEING STATIONARY OR MOVING.

MY SUN VISORS ON MY SUV THAT I PURCHASED NEW WILL NOT STAY UP. THEY HANG DOWN IN A VERY AWKWARD POSITION AND POSE A MAJOR VISIBILITY ISSUE. I DRIVE OVER 50 MILES DAILY FOR WORK AND STEERING MY CAR WHILE TRYING TO HOLD UP MY PASSENGER VISOR HAS AND IS POSING A MAJOR VISIBILITY ISSUE. I READ COUNTLESS POST BLOG WITH OTHER PATHFINDER OWNER WHO HAVE THE EXACT SAME IS. I AM TAKING MY SUV TO NISSAN TO SEE IF THIS IS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. MY MAIN CONCERN IS ONCE MY WARRANTY HAA EXPIRED AS NUMEROUS OF PATHFINDER OWNERS HAVE, THIS WILL BE AN EXPENSE THAT I WILL HAVE TO ABSORB WHEN I SHOULDN'T BECAUSE IT IS A CLEAR MANUFACTURER DEFECT. I AM BEING TOLD THE CAUSE OF MY OSSUE IS THAT NISSAN MADE THW VISORS TOO HEAVY FOR THE BRACKETS THAT SUPPORT THEM CAUSING THEM TO FALL AND IMPAIR VISIBILITY WHICH IS NOT ONLY DANGEROUS BUT COULD BE DEADLY. I AM A MOTHER OF TWO AND WANT TO MAKE SURE THE VEHICLE I PURCHASED NEW BC OF SAFETY IS IN FACT SAFE FOR MYSELF AND MY FAMILY.

AFTER JUST ONE YEAR OF OWNERSHIP, THE DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR IS NOW OBSTRUCTING CLEAR VIEW OF THE ROAD, CAUSING A SAFETY HAZZARD! THIS IS ONE OF MANY COMPLAINTS I HAVE READ ONLINE, AND I HOPE IT DOES NOT TAKE FOR SOMEONE TO GET HURT IN ORDER FOR A RECALL TO BE INITIATED. NOW, MY PASSENGER SIDE VISOR IS DOING THE SAME THING...THIS IS AN OBVIOUS DEFECT IN THE PARTS. I AM AWAITING THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT'S SOLUTION, AND HOPEFULLY THEY CALL US BACK.
